Burnley are reportedly interested in signing the Stoke City striker.

Peter Crouch of Stoke City looks on during the Premier League match between Manchester United and Stoke City at Old Trafford on January 15, 2018 in Manchester, England.

Burnley boss Sean Dyche will be desperate to bolster his attacking ranks at Turf Moor this summer, and he has identified Stoke City striker Peter Crouch as the ideal addition to his squad, according to a report from the Sun.

The 37-year-old joined the Potters from Tottenham in the summer of 2011, for a fee believed to be worth in the region of £10 million, and he has gone on to establish himself as a real fan favourite at the BET 365 Stadium, scoring 60 goals in the process.

Whether he still has what it takes to cut it at the very highest level, though, is highly questionable.

Some Burnley fans took to Twitter upon hearing the news linking their club with the 6ft 7in marksman, and their reactions were mixed…

The Clarets did remarkably well last season, finishing their campaign in seventh position in the Premier League table, and if Dyche really wants to guide his side to further improvements this time around, he will have to invest wisely.

And for the reported fee of just £500k, Burnley could surely do a lot worse than Peter Crouch.
